Chapter 833
She Probably Doesn’t Have Much Time Left
Even if An Ruo knows the truth, it’s already too late to make any difference.
However, she saw through his plan…
“As long as you agree to marry me, I said I won’t kill them, and I won’t. An Ruo, no matter what the future holds, if you don’t agree now, they will die right now.” Xingtian said calmly.
An Ruo shook her head, “I’ve also said, I won’t marry you, no matter what. Go ahead and kill them, once they’re dead, I won’t live alone either. Or perhaps, you don’t actually dare to kill him…”
“Stop trying to provoke me!” Xingtian suddenly became angry.
Damn it, he’s indeed hesitant to act. If he does, others will know he’s still alive, and since he hasn’t completely retreated yet, it’s only a matter of time before they find him.
An Ruo sneered, “Did I guess everything right? Do you know how I guessed right? I just took a wild guess.”
Her smile seemed harsh in his eyes, even though she was guessing, he couldn’t maintain composure in front of her, and thus he subconsciously gave himself away!
Xingtian suddenly calmed down, curled his lips and said, “An Ruo, there’s no need to anger me with those words. Do you know, things I can’t have, I would rather destroy than let others have them.”
“Are you going to kill me? Then go ahead.” She also smiled, but it was an empty smile.
Xingtian’s eyes were dark and deep. He turned his back to her and said ruthlessly, “I won’t kill you; I’ll just starve you until you’re forced to beg. An Ruo, whether to live or die, you choose.”
He left, only posting guards at the door, not forcing her into marriage.
Hunger again…
An Ruo faintly smiled. Back when Tang Yuchen used this tactic against her, she stubbornly didn’t give in, let alone now.
But the feeling of hunger is very unpleasant; it’s more painful than any violence.
Staring out the window, An Ruo thought about what Tang Yuchen and the child were doing. She feared she wouldn’t live much longer, luckily they had already believed she was dead, otherwise, she wouldn’t leave in peace.
Moreover, seeing them that day, she found Tang Yuchen was taking good care of Kangkang, allowing her to leave the world even more at ease.
If there’s a next life, she’d still be willing to meet Tang Yuchen, just that they shouldn’t hurt each other anymore. She’d prefer to spend a lifetime with him as a normal, loving couple…
It’s been three days now, An Ruo didn’t eat or drink, staying in bed in a daze. When hunger overwhelmed her, she relied on memories for support.
Indeed, one needs memories, so they can draw mental strength in the toughest times.
Xingtian never came to see her; he waited for her to break down and beg. He believed people couldn’t withstand the taste of hunger.
By the fifth day, An Ruo was so weakened by hunger, she was on the brink of death.
Xingtian, unable to hold back his anger, entered her room when he still hadn’t heard her plea.
On the bed, An Ruo weakly opened her eyes, glanced at him, then closed them again.
“Give up… I won’t beg… I’m soon to… die… I told you… even if I die, I won’t… agree to marry you…” she said weakly and softly.
Xingtian walked over and sat by her side, his eyes dark and complex, unreadable to anyone.
He reached out, gently caressing her face, softly asking, “Does the taste of hunger feel good?”
